If you were Obama's economics advisor...

Part one:
Imagine this: President Barack Obama has granted you thirty minutes of face-time in the Oval Office to discuss the problems with the American economy. You can discuss whatever you'd like, but you know he wants to talk about the economy and he needs your help! You can give advice, ask questions, and use your time however you'd like.

You can focus on any segment of the American economy that you want or you can consider the whole thing. The only rule is that your advice must be grounded in historical information (either taking "good" ideas and adapting them for today's world or developing new ideas and showing why they are "better" than the old ones). Your advice must make reference to at least one current event and at at least two historical events, laws or circumstances.

Check out Barack Obama's editorial in Thursday's Washington Post

Good luck and please save our economy!

Part two: Post the time, location, and technology you are using for your mentor interview.

This is due at 3:30 on Friday 2/6
